The disadvantages under which
Southern farmers labor who, by force
of circumstances, are compelled to
purchase supplies on credit, have often
been told. In private letter to the
Baltimore Maaatacturers' Record,
well known Southern gentleman writes:
"Our farmers have paid extortionate
rates for money on short time and
have been able to live at it, although
their crops have been anything but
abundant for several years past. Crops
made under such circumstances, how
ever, will never give the producers
income sufficient to raise them from
their present financial condition and
make farming here a successful occu-
patton. What they need is money
borrowed on long time and at low
rates Of interest. Merchants do not
credit the farmer on anything but cot
ton. Grain is not considered a good
hence cotton must be made
or credit cannot be had" But has
better to suggest than an in
to Northern money lenders TO
go in and lend on land. II is a pity
if the production of a country is not
good enough basis for the exchange
Of its products. What the Southern
farmers need is free banking, and not
specie borrowing.

The Interstate ConventIo..
Abbevllle MeridIonal.

Abbeville Meridional.
The Interstate Agricultural Conven-
ton, held at Lake Charles February
22d, 23d and Gath, is said by those
we have met and attended ii, to be
one of the grandest affairs Of tho kind
ever taken place in Louisiana. 1t was
largely attended by visitors and we'll
represented by delegates from other
States. A magnificent address was
delivered by Governor S. D. McEnery,
followed by an address of welcome,
on the part of the City of Lake
Charles, by Hon. Geo. ii. Wells.
There is nothing more suitable and
profitable to the welfare Of our coun-
try than such reunions, and to the adj
vancement of the agricultural and
fruit-culture interests of our State, as
well as to develop its vast mineral re-
sources. There is nothing more con-
dueive to prosperity and thrift Of
country than for practical men to get
together, and in open discussion, de-
bate the industries and advantages to
be derived thercfrom and there is
nothing better than an exchange of
ideas to arrive at wise, satisfactory
and definite conclusions on subjects
of interest to our people at largo.

SUNSET FUTURES.

Ateve, when the day Is dying
Adown in the elouded west,
climb to my lonely garret,
Athirst for its peace and rest.
/ look from the western window
Away to the sunset slcy,
And watch, with vague heart-aching,
Its pageantry glow and die.
From out of the deepening shadows,
And mp through the riffs of gold,
Troop memory haunting faces,
And forms that were dear of old.
And the dismal years sweep backward
Their burden Of woe and pain,
Their heartaches and tears and partings,
And leave me my past again.
Oh, memory, treasure-laden!
IL only your gates would close
To open no more, forever,
On our deep, heart-piercing woes
If only the glad and Joyous
Might break from your magic train,
How many would hail you gladly
Who shrink from you now in pain ?
One face-Oh, the years of darkness
That lie 'twixt its bloom and me
Beams out of the falling shadows
That darken the sunset sea.
NAAS NShAf hlA
Are bright as the sunsets gold
Dear eyes ! and the sweet hands beckon
Away to the Fathers fold.
Another face SO sweet and gentle,
With serious, boyish grace,
Shtdes out of the flaming splendor,
All, this is my lost loves face
But 1t greets me now, as never,
Save out of some sunset sheen;
For years Of rebellious grieving
Lie his and my face between.
watch them with heartsiclS longing -
These two-they were all my ownl
And my life seems strangely blighted,
And joyless now they are gone.
But over the sunset borders,
Adown by the jasper sea,
| shall some day find my children,
Awaiting and watching for me.

What True Merit Will DO.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup within a few years,
has astonished the world. It is with
out doubt the safest and best remedy
ever discovered for the speedy and
effectual cure OF Coughs, Colds and
the severest Lung Troubles. 1t acts
on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescription given by physi-
clans, as 1t does not dry up a Cough
and leave it in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in purely healthy con-
dition. A bottle kept 10 the house for
use when these diseases make their
appearance, will save doctor bills and
a long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price rs
cents, large bottles.

he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times, symptoms of fndi-
gestion are present, latulencY, uneasiness of
the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspira-
ton, producing a very disagreeable itching,
after getting warm, is a common attendant.

In advocating good country roads
the Bossier Bonner says with truth
and force that Louisiana roads are
scarcely worth the name they bear:
"The moro prosperous section of the
Union have deemed the matter of
roads of first Importance, and now
point to net works of well graded,
firm and enduring highways as essen
tial elements of the progress they have
made. Good roads are a crying need
of the times with us, and should be
provided at the earliest day possible.
The centers of trade should all be
made easy of access to the farmers of
the country surrounding them"

TO BUILD UP THE BAY.
The City Asked for the Open Space on
the North Side of the Street.

The City Asked for the Open Space on
the North Side of the Street.
The City Council held an adjourned meet
ing yesterday to consider the Street and Lane
Committees report in regard to settlement
of the equity suit of Wilcox, Gibbs & Co.,
and T. NJ Cunningham and J. FL NJ. Clinch,
executors of the Waldburg estate, against
the city, which has been pending in the SUI
perior Court for over two years.
The suit grew out of disagreement
in regard to the removal of the row of sheds
extending over Factors walk in front of the
Waldburg property on Bay street, between
Bull and Whitaker The immediate cause
of the suit was an order issued to the City
Marshal to tear down the sheds as an err
croachment upon the street. An injunction
was issued against the city. but the case
has never been heard. Several attempts
have been made to bring about settlement.
Wilcox, Gibbs d CO., who occupy a part
Of the warehouses, in front of which the
sheds are built, and the executors of the
Waldburg estate are anxious to improve
the property, but in its present shape they
are unable to do anything with it. Their
last proposition to Council is in the
nature ESt Of compromise, BY which which
$4,000, the city to extend the southern
boundaries of the three lots between Bull
and Whitaker streets south to Bay street.
This viii utilize the unoccupied space be-
tween Factors walk and Bay street and will
afford an eligible site for building purposes.
1t is understood that the executors
Of the Waldburg estate and
Wilcox, Gibbs & Co. propose,
in event they are able to obtain an equitable
| settlement with the city, to erect hand
some business block there 1t is necessary
| for the city to obtain tho sanction of the
Legislature in order to dispose of the prop
erty, and in their proposition the represen-
tatives of the estate and the guano company
propose TO unite with the city in securing
the necessary legislation, the compromise to
be dependent upon the success of their eff
| forts.
| The Street and Lane Committee rec
omended in part settlement upon the basis
proposed, the amount to be paid to be $685.,
coo instead of s15,0
b After considerable debate the report was
adopted.

CONTRACTOR rNNEs FAILS.
he Abandons His Contract to Build
the Tybee Road.

1t was reported yesterday morning that
Mr. r. B. Innes, who had the contract for
building the Tybec railroad, was financially
embarrassed aud had given up his contract
The rlmor proved TO be correct, much to
the regret of the many friends Of that gentle
man, who has devoted his time and energy
TO the enterprise.
For some weeks there has been a good
deal of dissatisfaction expressed regarding
the progress of the work, and it was
evident that it was not being pushed for
ward with that rapidity which had been
shown by the contractor in the beginning
At meeting of the Board of Directors of
the company, held on Thursday, Mr..
Innes made n statement of the
condition of his affairs, and asked that fur
Their payments be made on account of the
work. The board, after considering
the matter, declined TO accede to
Mr.. lines request, and he gave up
his contract Arrangements were at once
entered into by the company to continue
the construction of the road, and Mr.. lines
workmen were at work yesterday as usual.
The work will be pushed TO completion
under the direction of Supt. Haines, and it is
expected that by the middle of June trains
will be running to the island.
Mr. Innes said last night that it was i'm
BOooibAC Lpi NM ~ ~ utA Aui OhS1 WIN ollC
work under the contract, and he abandoned
it as the only course left for him to pursue
Capt. Purse, President of the road, said
that there will be no delay in the work; that
it will be pushed ahead to completion at the
earliest possible day. The track is nearly all
laid, and the Lazeretto creek bridge will
be put in position so that trains can
run through TO the island next week OF
course there will be considerable work after
the track is finished to get everything in
first-class running order.
Mr. Innes will return North to-day. He
has always borne high standing in. fnan-
cial circles and his failure is a surprise. His
Liabilities are variously estimated from
$4,000 to $4,000, with nominal assets
Mr.. Innes said last night that he could not
even approximate the amount. A large
portion of his indebtedness is to Savannah
firms for supplies. J. J. McDonough & Co.,
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way, Ross & Sanford, George F. Byrnes,
Vale Royal Manufacturing Company and
A. Letter are his principal creditors

IMPROVING THE SQUARES.
The Street and Lane Committee to Lay
New Walks.

The improvement of the city's squares is
one of the most important works which
the Street and Lane Committee of Council
has undertaken. The walks in many places
OF the squares are out of repair and in some
of them there are no paved walks at all.
The ratings and fences have been broken
down or have fallen to pieces,
and the general lack of attention
which some of the squares, not in the prin-
cipal streets shows, has been the source OF
a good deal of complaint.
Alderman Thomas, chairman of the
present Street and Lane Committee, has I'M
dertaken TO improve the walks, and the
fences and ratings have also been repaired
and put in better condition. The walks
through Telfair place are now being paved
The Council yesterday authorized the City
surveyor to advertise for bids to repave the
walk on the west side of Abercorn street
through Lafayette square and also to pave
the walks running east and west through
Madison square and the walks running
north and south through Chatham square.
Bids will be invited for either brick or
stone 1t is not unlikely that the Peirce
Company will bid for the contract. A
handsome patent stone pavement like
that around st. Johns Church
in the principal squares would
add greatly to their attractiveness. There
are number of other squares which are
in need of Improvement, and they will be
looked after in their order.
